In this episode, I’m making the topic of #trauma easier to understand by taking you step by step through my recent revelation that I was struggling with past trauma.

Note: this episode covers sensitive material, including discussion of trauma and sexual assault. If this topic isn’t for you right now – please skip this episode.

The words “trauma” and “nervous system” are thrown around like candy online.

I want to share the profound things that I’ve learned about both topics and how I’ve started to address and heal the trauma in my #nervoussystem.

This episode is personal, it’s important, and tactical, and most of all – it’s packed with tools you can start using right now.
